I am trying to add a button to the Material UI autocomplete paper by overriding the PaperComponent
prop and added a button at the button of the paper, but clicking on the button automatically closes the autocomplete search results
How can i prevent the autocomplete search results Paper from closing on click
Here is a sandbox: https://codesandbox.io/s/material-demo-mxjyi
UPDATE: I didn't notice that the sandbox did not save, now you can see the issue
The problem is the onBlur
which occurs before your onClick
. Material UI offers to ignore the blur behaviour on debug
mode but that happens only if you have a value inside your Autocomplete
.
The workaround is to use onMouseDown
instead of onClick
Based on your Codesanbox please change the onClick
event to onMouseDown
event in your <button>
component
<button
style={{ margin: "10px", padding: "5px" }}
onMouseDown={() => alert("clicked")}

The problem, which is not Material-UI related, was discussed here also
